Hi Guys,
Last Saturday I did a 30 minute session of crosswinds practice, the attached video shows my three worst landings, I found it quite challenging but then I also find I'm a slow learner
At the end of my session I was sweating like crazy, I also had an audience of 4 watching, you can just see them on the left at the end of the video as I am about to turn off the runway, I am sure if they had score cards they would have held them up, looks like they had nothing better to do and I was the mornings entertainment
Also you'll notice my last landing I got in at least 5 for the price of 1, at one stage I was rolling out with all 3 wheels on the runway and then I got a good gust and the mains where back in the air and I'm rolling along only on my tail wheel.
At the end of the day, I figure I want/need to be prepared for bad conditions should I encounter them while I'm away on a trip etc. so the more practice I get in the better even if some of it is a little ho hum.
